Breanna Stewart’s motherhood changes her approach to life and basketball
A child has always given their parents a new perspective on life. The same is true for Breanna Stewart, who has continued to carve her legacy as a women’s basketball star while being a mother of her two children.
Talking to the WNBA, Stewart expressed how motherhood changed her as a woman and as a player.
“Being a mom has completely changed my approach, both on and off the court. It’s given me so much more perspective. My kids, Ruby and Theo, are looking up to me, and I’m constantly trying to be a role model for them daily. I hope they’ll look back on what I do on the court and what I’m striving for here in New York and be proud of what I do. I want to show them that anything is possible,” Breanna Stewart said.
Her family is expected to continue being her biggest supporters as Stewart looks to repeat as champion this season. They start their WNBA regular season campaign against the Las Vegas Aces on May 16.
